Other:On May 22, 2007 released Louisiana Revenue Ruling 07-002 that offers a discussion of a Judicial Decision affecting the Sales & Use Taxation of Aircraft. This ruling is effective 7/1/07. This ruling redefines the LA interstate commerce exemption. In order for an aircraft to be considered to be used in "bona fide" interstate commerce, the bona fide interstate commerce activity must be continuous and uninterrupted from the moment the aircraft enters the state. In other words, for an airplane or any other commercial transportation vehicle to be considered in bona fide interstate commerce, the vehicle must be used exclusively, in the words of the Court, in "the exchange of goods and services.

Other:AGRICULTURAL AIRCRAFT EXEMPTIONS - Effective 9/1/2009Senate Bill 958 amends Tax Code Section 151.328 relating to aircraft exemptions by adding Section (a)(5). Section 151.328(a)(5) exempts the sale of aircraft for use exclusively in connection with agricutural use, as defined by Section 23.51 of the Property Tax Code, used for:(A) predator control;(B) wildlife or livestock capture(C) wildlife or livestock surveys(D) census counts of wildlife of livestock;(E) animal or plant health inspection services, or(F) crop dusting, pollination or seeding. For purposes of this exemption, an aircraft is considered to be used exclusively in connection with an agricultural use if at least 95% of the use of the aircraft is for the identified activities.

IDENTIFIABLE SEGMENT - Effective December 1, 2006 "...If the method of transfer(s) of an aircraft, or other tangible personal property, does not have a business purpose other than tax avoidance, then the transitory entity should be ignored and use tax should be assessed accordingly. This analysis will be applied to all such transactions that have not been completed, meaning the taxable item has not actually been brought into Texas for use as of December 1, 2006. Document 9502L1333G03 on the STAR system, and any similar documents, are superseded accordingly." (Accession Number - 200611755L)

A purchaser must give a resale certificate & have a sales tax permit to purchase the aircraft tax fee and if the purchaser intends to sell, lease, or rent it in the regular course of business or transfer it as an integral part of a taxable service performed in the regular course of business. The tax is either due on the lease payments or on the sales price of the aircraft, unless another exemption applies.

The Texas Comptroller's office currently takes the position that a lease between related parties is not "in the normal course of business" unless the monthly lease or rental income is approximately 1% of the aircraft cost.
